In the news

so the british tax payer is getting doubly shafted on property rerfurbishments this month

first the announcement of £6bn + for tarting up the houses of parliament
now we are informed we will be re decorating the queens house
at the modest sum of £150mn ...... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33250274

i wonder if i could get the great british public to help fund the gold lamais wall paper and jet black ceramic tiles with sparkles i'm planning for my bedroom

No photos allowed for some reason... The man who took me there wanted a haircut... #amazingbutcoolstory

^^ yeah but think of all the wonderful work she does for the tourist industry! you wouldn't catch the disabled doing that.

We could use the disabled to decorate the Palace maybe? Holding curtains, decoratively applied to walls, holding vases etc- that'd be 150m worth of wages then.

string a couple of those wheelchairs together - crip drawn carriages! for state events, going down the shops etc.

possibly more epic fail than news

direct democracy kicking off at the HoC

'kicking'? not cool man.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johson has announced he is becoming a woman.

The worst bit* is that she insists on moving out when they get the builders in.

I'm currently living in a one bedroom flat, 50% of which is a building site, and has been since the end of March. We have no bathroom, no kitchen and a chemical loo.

I think if I can manage she can easily cope in somewhere that big.

*Obviously, the worst bit is actually that we're being asked to foot the bill. As Cameron and co. love privatising things so much, why don't they sell Buckingham Palace to a theme park operator like Merlin with the queen as a sitting tenant? Then the private sector can pay the renovation costs.

Buckingham Palace, a Disney Experience.

I still think that they should relocate parliament to Hull whilst the Houses of Parliament are titivated.

I hate the government at least as much as the next guy, but Hull? That's really harsh.

thats a little exaggerated of you, surely

seen your flat. you have a basement.

gtfo with your posh basement!

anyone want to bet the taxpayer will foot the bill to rehome the queen ... even though she probably owns most of westmonster / mayfair and kensington

she could move in with her kids for a while

I'm guessing it felt nice at the time but could turn out to be a bit pricey.
